Zabbix Combat-Simple tutorial-macro variable

I. Overview

Zabbix supports many macros that are used in various situations. A macro is a variable that is identified by the following special syntax: macro

Using macros effectively saves you time and makes Zabbix more efficient.

In a typical use, a macro can be used in a template. Therefore, the template's trigger may be named ' {host.name} ' mysql{#MYSQLPORT} port is down, please check! ”。

When this template is applied to the host (the Dragon is in the Sky roledb-192.168.1.100), and when the trigger is displayed on the Monitoring page, the name of the trigger resolves to "the Dragon's mysql3306 port on the day roledb-192.168.1.100 has been down, please pay attention to see!" ”。

Second, the use of scene 1, macro priority

• Host macro
  • Set up directly on the host
• The macro that the host template defines, and if there are multiple templates, the higher the precedence of the macro (template).
  • Set up on a template

• Global macro

2. Examples of use of macros

• The majority of LLD
  1, for example, when monitoring MySQL multi-instance, we are not sure how many instances of MySQL how many ports, so only through a variable to represent, the macro, it will be the only choice.

• Used in the host

When we are monitoring the host, different hosts may have different parameters (such as different passwords, ports), then you need to set the macro variable for a single host. Because the macros on the host have the highest precedence.
